 I would like to see this research. I have read just the opposite, that all 
 you body really needs is H20 which is sweatted out and that all these other 
 additives are unnecessary unless you like the taste. This assumed that your 
 were getting the proper nutrition eating the right meals etc.. It even 
 suggested that these drinks could slow the absorption process. David "Bird

Relying on  glucose/mineral drinks whilst on a long ride will cause sudden 
peaks and troughs in your blood glucose which might compromise your safety, 
and in itself can cause sudden sweats, unless you back it up with plenty of 
plain water.  If you feel queasy, flat lemonade is the best quick solution 
but you don't need large amounts.  Like you say, slow absorption means plenty 
of gas!!! could be a bit uncomfortable! <grin>Ann, 'combrogi' dawg,
